Precision Mechanics & Horology
Mechanical systems engineered for deterministic positioning, micro-scale motion transfer, and high temporal accuracy.
Inside this collection
Watch Escapements & Balances
Lever and detent escapements, balance spring terminal curves, isochronism, and positional error averaging.
Precision Gearing
Involute and cycloidal gear profiles, anti-backlash spring pinions, epicyclic trains, and torque transmission uniformity.
Flexure Hinges & Mechanisms
Elastic deflection guides, cross-axis leaf flexures, frictionless micro-positioning, and fatigue life limits.
Kinematic Couplings
Kelvin and Maxwell three-groove mounts, exact constraint theory, contact stress mitigation, and sub-micron repeatability.
Spindles & Hydrostatic Bearings
Pressurized oil and air film bearings, aerostatic radial stiffness, runout reduction, and dynamic thermal balance.
Laser Metrology & Gauges
Laser heterodyne displacement interferometers, gauge block thermal stability, and Abbe error alignment principles.
Vibration Isolation Platforms
Pneumatic bladders, negative-stiffness mechanisms, piezoelectric active canceling, and natural frequency attenuation.
Micromotors & Leadscrews
Preloaded recirculating ball screws, planetary roller screws, piezo-steppers, and thread pitch thermal compensation.
Complex machines deserve
a closer look.
We follow the forces, explain the compromises and distinguish evidence from assumption.
